Wife Octavia, sister of Octavian\Augustus List any significant historical events this individual participated in AND his/her role in these events: Served overseas with the Roman governor of Syria. Also served with Ceaser too. Antony helped suppressing local rebellions against Romans with Ceaser. Antony was elected tribune, once he returned to Rome.In the second triumvirate he worked with Octavian. That was some of what he did. Why should future students learn about this individual? They should learn about Marc Antony because he was very interesting. Of all the things he did, a lot of kids would find something they liked. Then if they didn't know what something meant and decided to look it up, they could learn that much more about history.All in all, I think kids would like Marc Antony.
